spectre power button is jammed, can't turn on my laptop

[daninyork]

my very expensive touchscreen spectre is two months out of warranty. the power button is broken.  It is halfway pushed in and i can't get the computer to wake up.   i've been on hp sites for about an hour and a half just trying to figure out how to get a  replacement but i can't find an answer.   Is there a separate power button board i can replace? do i have to replace the entire mother board?  Will i ever buy another HP after finding the company so incredibly unhelpful?
